Prepping for my long voyage

I’m leaving for Portland, Oregon tomorrow for a week and I’m clearing stuff off my plate and getting things together for the trip. You can stay up to date on all the goings on in PDX here at Candleblog and in my Facebook and Twitter feeds and you can follow all the hot community media action at the Alliance for Community Media national conference by paying attention to the tag “acmedia09.” I’ll be bringing video and still cameras so there should be some stuff to look at, time and broadband permitting.

Let’s clear out some of these tabs now…

The interns at the Burlington Free Press have apparently started a Gawker-style snark-blog called Camp BFP. (Looks good, guys, but in the appeal to “FOLLOW US DUDE!” there really ought to be a comma between “US” and “DUDE,” FWIW.)

Neurocinematics is an academic field studying the effects that movies have on our brains. Perhaps this will somehow eventually explain the bizarre popularity of Michael Bay’s “films.”
